At least two people have been arrested in Queensland for saying "from the river to the sea" today at a protest. I think we all knew this day was coming. A dark milestone in our homegrown authoritarian decline.

My heart is with everyone facing floods up north. In Bundaberg it's the worst in 10 years, in Katherine the worst in decades. And more rain is possible.

Rolling disasters will keep devastating Northern Australian communities as governments make the climate crisis worse.

Jeremy's reaction is a good measure of how this failure will be received among the wider public, not only as it concerns the NACC, but what it suggests about the broader ability of Australian institutions to hold anyone of significant power or influence to account for anything in future.

"The government might be wishing Australia taxed its LNG exports as much as the royalties on iron ore, and better still, coal.

"LNG prices are soaring, but we only get 2% of that on top of the company tax, compared with 7% for iron ore and 13% for coal."

Canavan? Bloody Hell.

I think the media needs to see there is no opposition. Liberals are sunk and Nationals will be driven to a fringe party that once represented farmers but now gets it’s policy from Canavan’s lobbyist mates.

If you’re hanging on as a fabian or socialist - there is no place for you in this ALP.
Opt out of support through union dues and tell your union to cut allegiance.
We need a workers party.
We need a party for the many, not the few

If you’re part of the ALP and don’t like what they’re doing… now is the time to say so. Loudly and in any way possible. Resign, burn your membership card, whatever you need to do. Act now before there’s nothing left to save.

Really looking for support for my “everyone put your money in a pile and let’s split it” bill. Billionaires aren’t exempt. Earners under 120k just put in 10%.

Considering the nonsensical bills being put up currently, we should give this one a go.

Australians don't want to get dragged into Trump & Netanyahu’s illegal war on Iran. Labor shouldn’t be sending troops to help a military that’s killed 150 schoolchildren in a primary school bombing. To keep civilians safe we should be urging peace, not sending missiles.

Nearly 100 Australian military personnel will be sent to the Gulf this week with the military equipment. This follows the illegal war launched by the US and Israel on Iran over a week ago that has already escalated, causing chaos across the region and across the global economy.

The announcement today from the Albanese Labor Government to send an E-7A Wedgetail aircraft to the Gulf and provide medium-range air-to-air missiles to the UAE shows Australia has been fully dragged into another US forever war.

Images published by Iranian state media show remnants of a US Tomahawk missile at a girls’ school in Minab.
It’s not possible to independently verify the provenance of the remnants from this imagery alone. But Bellingcat previously detailed how a Tomahawk missile hit a structure next to the school.

Reporter: You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war. But you're the only person in your government saying this. Why?

Trump: Because I just don't know enough about it.

Chris Minns’ own security expert warned that tougher police powers after Bondi could ‘increase radicalisation’ Alexandra Caples suggested expanded NSW laws could ‘damage trust between police and communities, undermining broader efforts to counter extremism’

Speaking of Minns, turns out his own security expert, Alexandra Caples warned that expanding police powers and restricting protest rights could “increase radicalisation”. She was promptly ignored

I know a bunch of groypers run the administration’s Twitter accounts but just in terms of basic facts: 1) Iran or Iranians didn’t carry out Oct 7, & 2) no babies had their heads cut off on Oct 7. Just total atrocity propaganda that was long ago debunked but still pushed by Trump

To counter blatant McCarthyism from our callow political class, I suggest looking at donations, invitations, trips etc from so called “advocacy” groups that are actually linked to the Israeli Govt.
Allegiance, obedience or adherence.
Minns, Albanese, the QLD bloke, Wong - any quid pro quo?
